Hello Ian and thanks for writing.
It certainly sounds like a faulty thermal cut of PS334299 and /or High limit thermostat PS11742185 check the part and replace it if needed. It is recommended to replace both parts at the same time. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime.
Changed high limit and thermostat, and motor still stops running within a minute, also without heat in fluff mode. Sometimes it runs a bit longer, and then again it runs like 10 seconds.Could the motor be bad ? or is it something else?
thank you.

Hello Ian, thank you for your question. We would recommend testing the internal bias thermostat. If that part is fine, the motor itself could be bad. I hope this helps.

Overheats yo a point it smells
For model number MEDX655DW1
Hi John,
Thank you for your question. If your dryer is too hot, there are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the thermal cut-off kit, the high limit thermostat, the heating element and the internal bias thermostat. We have included a link that you may reference on how to check these parts. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
To reach the heating element you only need to open the back cover of the dryer (about 8 nut-head screws). Remember to disconnect the power.
To remove the heating element there are two small nut-head screws. Remove the two electric wires. Then you can pull the heating element away.
You can check the heating element with an ohm-meter or visually inspect it to see if the heating element spiral wire is broken.
Don't hurry to dispose the old element. My model includes a small electric safety part. You'll need to transfer it to the new heating element (that comes without it)..
First tried heating element and thermal fuse with no luck. Ordered thermal cutoff and fixed problem. Had I used an ohm meter first I would have determined problem before having ordered heating element and fuse, as both had resistance. I wast just lazy and ordered the took the most common failed components first before taking dryer back off.
The repair was easy. the most time consuming part was vacuuming the dust from the back of the Dryer, The repair required removing screw from the back panel of the dryer. Then removing screws from the heating element and unplugging the wires. The only moderately diffculy part was swapping the sensor form the old element.
